Monique Yakimovich, YTT 200 began my foundational intro to Yoga in 2011 and started my personal practice in 2016 at Priya Yoga in Devon. I developed a well rounded base beginning with Restorative, Restorative Yin, Yin and then Hatha Flow with Joyce Christian. I have also been inspired by numerous other practitioners and decided to do my teacher training at Above Average Yoga. This practice has supported, given me strength, balance and flexibility of mind and body.
Something you may not know about me is: If it has scissors in some part of the crafting of it, I am all in. Current count over 20 pairs of scissors in active use- another 10 or so occasional  specialty use. My intention is to create a welcoming and inclusive space to practice yoga for Every Body.
